Seahawks DE Michael Bennett says it would be 'ideal' to return to Bucs

Now that the offseason is here it’s time for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to address the areas that are of concern. One of Tampa Bay’s biggest concerns right now is the team’s lack of pass rush, getting to the quarterback and their inability to pressure quarterbacks efficiently.

As a result, the Bucs will need to either draft a defensive weapon or pursue a solid defensive end through free agency. One player in particular who has expressed interest is Seattle Seahawks defensive end Michael Bennett.

“If anything ever happened with Seattle, I mean Tampa would be like an ideal to go back and get a chance to win a championship with those guys,” Bennett said. “But right now I’m a Seahawk, so. But it’s always cool to have your old teammates want you to back on the team because it means you made a really good impression on them and you’re really good friends.”

Bennett finished the 2017 season with 8.5 sacks which is incredibly impressive considering the Bucs lack of production in sacks this year, proving why he could easily be the missing piece this team desperately needs. Bennett spent the 2009-2012 seasons with the Buccaneers and has emerged as one of the most dominant pass rushers in the NFL which is why he wouldn’t be a bad option for general manager Jason Licht and company to consider targeting this offseason.
